past four months work. As all the
high school students except ten
have been making passing grades it
is not expected that many will fail.
The attendance so far has been
very good; the school as a whole
shows average daily attendance is
ninety-eight per cent. The children
jyho have been out on account of the
whooping cough are rerentering. A
new class has been formed in the
primary room to care for those who
have fallen behind.
The enrollment for the whole,
school is two hundred and eighty-
seven, which is five less than were
enrolled during the first month.
There are one hundred students in
the high school.
This year stars are giyen to the
students that make the four highest
averages in each class for the
month. At the close of the year a
pennant will be given to each person who has earned six stars. The
plan is bringing out some fine work.
The following list of students has
one or more stars: Everett Johnson,
Katherine Bond, Kenton Smith, Er-
rol Myersi, ,Vera .Kinzer, iThelma
Stultz, Harold Gerrard, Kenneth Symons, Lucille Johnson, Donald Randall, Mildred Williamson, Ralph Applegate, Arthelma Heather, Noal
Kaiser, Lois Myers, Leonette Pickett, Esther Quick ,Ruth Myers, Elizabeth Roberts, Eleanor Murphy,
Mildred Kenyon, Helen Symons, Vel-
era Myers, Catherine Beeson and
Martha Van Hart. A pennant will
be given to the student that makes
the greatest improvement during the
year.
The Citizens State bank offered
three cash prizes to the high school
students for the best essays written
on the subject, "Why You Should
Own a Home m Carmel." Fourteen
students entered the contest. The
grades were based on the following
points: Reasons, expression, spelling, neatness and punctuation. After
much deliberation the judges awarded the prizes as follows: First, Ralph
Van Meter, five dollars; second, Olive
Smith, three dollars; third, Mildred
Kenyon, two dollars; fourth, Loretta
Hinshaw, two dollars; honorable
mention, Wm. Brunson and Frank
Michener.
The work on the new school building is going on rapidly. The contractors wish to get it enclosed, as soon
as possible so that the inside work
may be done during the cold months.
Enthusiasm is growing and increases in proportion to the progress of
the work. It is possible now to get
an idea of what the building will be.
the location of the rooms, the style
of architecture, etc. The building
covers four times the ground space
as the old building. Plans are being
made by the trustees and teachers
for the work next year. More courses will be offered and the extra
room will insure more and better
work. Besides the regular work
many other features will be worked
in. The sohool will have functions on
three 'nights each week. Tentative
plans have been made for lectures,
entertainments, musicales, parent-
teachers meetings and similar functions to be on Wednesday nights;
basket ball on Friday night, and
moving pictures on Saturday nights.
The proceeds from all school functions will be used for school equipment. Tb.e teachers have enough
saved  now  to   purchase  one  piano.
The basket ball team is improving
in Indianapolis Thursday witnessing
a musical production of Technical
High School. Mr. Caylox- is gathering
much high class music to be used
next year.
Several parents have come to visit the school and see their children
at work. Now that the fall work is
about over more Visitors are expected. The domestic science class under the direction of Miss Warner is
serving lunch each Friday and visitors are welcome to this feature also.

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN A HOME
IN CARMEL
By Ralph Van Meter—1st Prize
There are many reasons why you
should own a home in Carmel.
Carmel is situated on a state
highway, a traction, and a steam
line; it also has a school house under
construction, which is the best in
central Indiana, where your children
can get a good education.
A residence would be a good, investment as there are good stores,
a bank, sidewalks, and abundant
shade. ' You will also find desirable
neighbors in any part of the town.
Carmel has a satisfactory electric
lighting system, which is lacking in
many towns, and an important factor to consider when purchasing a
home..
And last, but important, though
Carmel is a growing town, it is not
clouded with smoke as manufacturing towns are, but has abundant
fresh air and light. t
MRS. MEN COX
Mollie Craven Cox, wife of Steven
M. Cox and mother of Mrs. Percy
Hinshaw, Raymond and Byron Cox,
and sister of Luther Craven, died
Wednesday December 7, at the residence east of Westfield.
Mrs. Cox was one of the well
known women' of that vicinity and
was esteemed highly for her many
virtues.
The funeral of William Smith, father of Ford, Samuel and William
Smith and Mrs. Maude Sullivan, occurred at Broad Ripple, Saturday,
with interment at Crown Hill. Mr.
and Mrs. S. W. Sutton, near Carmel,
are parents of Mrs. Ford Smith.

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN A HOME
IN  CARMEL
By Miss Olive Smith—2nd Prize
Fulton, of the Atlas Real Estate,
had been trying to sell to his friend
Oldman,  a  home  in Indianapolis.
One evening he went to scall on
him. He found Oldman highly elated.
The first greeting between the two
was an exclamation from Oldman,
"John, I bought a home in Carmel!"
"Bought a home in Carmel?" shouted Fulton. "Why man, you are crasy.
for you never will succeed. Don't
you know Carmel is fifteen miles a-
way and your business is here? And
think of your chilldren, their educa-
j tion and the making of them for lat-
' er life. Take them to that country
town!   What do you mean?"
"John," interrupted Oldman. "I
have thought of everything. Listen
it is only fifteen miles from Carmel
' to Indianapolis and gasoline is twenty-five cents a gallon. When I can't
use my machine they have an excell-
I ent interurban line. And look at my
rent here!
"There you have some privileges,
not on top of your neighbor. There is
plenty of fresh air and sunshine
which is not heavy with smoke and
filth.
"It is for the children that I am
doing this. Carmel has one of the
best schools, three churches and
amusements, which I think will be
the making of them for later life.
They can have their gardens to work
in, for the land is very fertile.
"I believe I have made a good investment. My wife and kiddies are
glad to get away from here. My wife
says to get some place and have good
butter, milk and eggs to use is
worth the moving. As for myself, I
am satisfied. Have you anything to
say?"
Fulton rose, extended his hand
and said, "Good luck old man!"
So it is seen why people are moving to Carmel, for Health, Happiness
and  Success.

The location of Carmel makes it a
